Jeremiah 5:21 Context
19¶ And it shall come to passe when yee shall say; Wherefore doth the Lord our God all these things vnto vs? then shalt thou answere them; Like as ye haue forsaken me, & serued strange Gods in your land; so shall yee serue strangers in a land that is not yours. 20Declare this in the house of Iacob, and publish it in Iudah saying; 21Heare now this, O foolish people, and without vnderstanding, which haue eyes and see not, which haue eares and heare not. 22Feare yee not mee, saith the Lord ? Will yee not tremble at my presence, which haue placed the sand for the bound of the sea, by a perpetuall decree that it cannot passe it, and though the waues thereof tosse themselues, yet can they not preuaile, though they roare, yet can they not passe ouer it? 23But this people hath a reuolting and a rebellious heart: they are reuolted and gone.
